Rocket of Whispers is the second instalment of the OPUS series, following the footsteps of OPUS: The Day We Found Earth - a game that we really enjoyed in our recent review. This new title takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, telling the story of John, the son of a rocket engineer, and Fei, a witch who awoke from twenty years of cryogenic sleep.

We're delighted to confirm that we'll be publishing OPUS: Rocket of Whispers - by the brilliant @sigonogames - on the Switch eShop in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand (as well as Japan) soon. Stay tuned for more details! pic.twitter.com/Uo5NocXRVP— Flyhigh Works (NA / EU) (@FlyhighWorks_en) January 23, 2018

Throughout the game, players will explore and scavenge the snowy wasteland of OPUS through a top-down perspective, overcoming the treacherous weather and terrain. As they gather materials for the rocket, the story behind the demise of their world will slowly unfold through the ruins and artefacts they find.

As mentioned in the announcement tweet, we can expect more details on this release soon. Until then, though, why not check out the launch trailer above and let us know your initial thoughts in the comments? The music alone has us excited already!

Ryan’s that annoying kind of guy in multiplayer games - you know the one, the kind of person that throws a temper tantrum if he can’t be Yoshi in Mario Kart or gets stuck with the controller with the dodgy button. Yeah, that kind.
